Happy Happy Joy Joy

*I think that phrase was from Ren and Stimpy, but I could be wrong.
Some stuff that is making me happy lately:
1. Juno. I bought it on dvd today and cannot wait to watch it.
2. Dayenu. This song just makes me happy. I listen to it obsessively; at least once a day, but usually two or three times. Plus, it’s my ringtone on my phone that never rings so I haven’t actually heard how it sounds as a ringtone. Because I love it so much and it’s Passover, I’m sharing it with everyone who reads this blog. Dayenu means “it would have been enough” in Hebrew. So, dayenu to life. It is enough right now.
3. Anything related to photography. I am dying to hit the bookstore and get some more National Geographic Field Guides. I’m reading the travel one right now and have gotten some good tips. It’s making me even more excited for Alaska this summer…I cannot wait to take pictures. AND, I found out there’s an old cemetery in one of the ports we’re going to, which thrills me no end. I’m just odd enough to get excited about photographing a cemetery.
4. This sedar plate and this sedar plate. I just discovered Gary Rosenthal through my new Lilith Magazine and I’m hooked. He’s got some gorgeous stuff that I wish I could have now. But since my mother thinks all religions are cults, I have to keep my spirituality and faith (even though she’s Jewish, too) under wraps until I move out. She thinks it’s weird that I like being Jewish and enjoy the stuff that goes along with it.
5. Being organic and vegetarian. I had coffee today and feel like crud. I guess it’s back to Passion Tea Lemonade for me, which is fine, since it’s less calories anyway.
6. 84 days until we cruise. Still not getting too excited, but soon. 
Don’t get me wrong. I’m excited and can’t wait to go, but 84 days is a long time. Good thing I’m working all summer. I’d go insane if I was going to be home for the summer.
